British comedian and actor Russell Brand, known for a past life of debauchery replete with drug abuse and women, continued down the path of his newfound Christian faith by closing a Turning Point USA event in Oklahoma with a powerful prayer. Brand, like so many other high profile influencers, stepped in to fill the massive void left by Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination in September.
Speaking to an estimated ‘thousands’ of mostly young college-age young adults, Brand took the stage to close out a tour stop at the University of Oklahoma on October 16th, 2025. “Let this close with a prayer Heavenly Father, God, Lord Jesus, Christ, our Savior, Holy Spirit, we pray for the abundant grace that you have provided to be exhibited as we go out from here tonight,” Brand began.
“Lord, we honor, in particular, those directly affected by the murder of Charlie Kirk his widow and his children, and the people at turning point who were there and witnessed it that day, and to the young people here who looked up to him and admired him, Lord, we know that as a servant of yours, Charlie Kirk was aware that all of us are on our knees, shoulder to shoulder before you and Lord God, your principles and your values are what you have bestowed upon us,” he continued.
“It is by your sacrifice that we will know eternal life. Is by your life and your teachings that we know the direction that our faith should head in. Thank you God for giving me the opportunity to be with these beautiful people in Oklahoma. Thank you Lord for the conversation that’s pursued. Lord, I would ask for divine inspiration. I would ask for new conversations that pursue the lines that Charlie Kirk was pursuing in earnest, open discourse.
Love for me as a Christian Lord, I follow you faithfully. Show me where I can honor you more greatly. Show me how we can interact with lovingly people of different faiths and different dispositions, and show us, Lord how the miracle of new technology might be used to create maximal freedom. In your name, may Your kingdom come until your return, Lord will serve you in faith in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, Amen,” he finished.
